HYPERLINKS: Apart from the hyperlink at the top of this page, no attempt has been made to update the many hyperlinks in this book. The existing hyperlinks all retrieved pages correctly when they were originally entered into the text during the ten weeks leading up to January 2012, when the book was written.

The author chose to use a pseudonym for the following reasons.

1. To conceal the author’s identity.

2. To honor the memory of Mr. van Gogh.

3. To draw attention to the fact that Mr. van Gogh was murdered in Amsterdam.

Mr. van Gogh was murdered by one Mohammed Bouyeri, a 26-year-old Islamic extremist with dual Dutch and Moroccan nationalities who was believed to have links with other Islamic militant groups.

Mr. van Gogh’s murderer gave the following reasons for his actions: he was aggravated by his hate of the Western world and those who refused to accept Islamic values.

Mr. van Gogh was not in a Muslim country when he was murdered, was not breaking any laws of that country and he was not obliged to accept Islamic values.

Also, for the record, the author has travelled, in some cases on multiple occasions, to and within the following Muslim countries: Abu Dhabi, Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Yemen.

The author was raised in a predominantly Christian culture, attended a Christian school, was always interested in religion because of its effect on the majority of the world’s population and has been an agnostic since the 1980s.

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION

This book came to be written because I received an email from a relative which contained a link to an article on the Internet about a Dutch politician named Geert Wilders, with the following heading: This is the man that the UK would not let in last year (2009) but have just this week (March 2010) allowed to enter the UK and address the UK Parliament. I have since determined that the proper title of the article is America as the last man standing.¹ It is quite disturbing to say the least.

I didn’t take the article seriously at first, I only scanned it initially, but I felt it was probably worth keeping. The relative kept sending me similar material and eventually I responded by email using the Reply All function rather than replying just to the specific sender. This sent my response to everyone in my relative’s address list – maybe about 30 people. In essence, I said that merely having awareness of a problem but doing nothing about it wouldn’t fix that problem. I then waited for the replies to come flooding in.

Exactly zero replies came flooding in, which was disappointing. After about three or four months I finally decided that the least I could do was to help raise public awareness about the issue by writing a book. At least that would get me out of the ‘doing nothing’ category. I also intended to give a clear idea of how urgently this book is needed and suggest some of the things we should all be doing about the problem described here.

I would like to be able to say thanks to all the people who helped me write this book in some way but there weren’t any. So, the whole thing, with all its imperfections, is my own doing. I felt that due to the nature of the contents it would be safer to keep the subject-matter quiet until I had finished writing it. I also didn’t want to waste time in waiting for responses from anyone.

I am not claiming any particular originality here either (well, perhaps a little). In fact this book is more just an assemblage of evidence into some coherent order and fully referenced – making it a kind of convenient guide to and brief summary of most of the best current thinking about Islamofascism (see the References page) – rather than an attempt to write well. I thought the book was needed so urgently that I shouldn’t be wasting time trying to win the Nobel Prize for Literature or whatever. It just had to be published that quickly.

While that may sound somewhat overstated, there is nothing that I am aware of in this book which is factually incorrect or willfully misleading and I highly recommend that you, somehow, ensure you understand the stark reality and degree of the threat we face and prepare for it – even if you don’t read this book.

PREFACE TO THIS SECOND EDITION

The revised edition of this book was written because the first edition was written quickly over about ten weeks and, for the reasons given, it showed. A little raggedy around the edges: a few typographical errors, some improvements in the phrasing needed here and there, corrections to comments made in the Introduction regarding endnotes, some extra endnotes needed, an update to the ‘Arab Spring’ passage, list of References not in correct alphabetical order, updated chapter 2, inclusion of some material regarding ISIS/ISIL, and so on. All that has now been fixed in this edition.

Apart from corrections and improvements to the existing text, I have also added two new items. One new endnote in the Introduction is on the nature of medievalism – because the first edition talks about Muslims as being ‘medieval’² without explanation. I thought that while most people would not misunderstand my use of that word or could easily enough find out its meanings, I would add something on it anyway as it brought out some ideas and nuances that are perhaps less obvious. It is also, I believe, an essential characteristic of the Muslim mentality and thus critical to define.

The other item I wanted to add was a method of objectively evaluating commentary made about Muslims. It seems perhaps unfair to make pronouncements about people without having to show that they are factually correct (which is what ‘objective evaluation’ means here). Any instances of commentary which are not directly or indirectly derived from fact should be reported to the publisher. ‘Indirect commentary based on fact’ is fair commentary upon commentary directly based on fact.

If there are further improvements you would like to see in later editions, please pass them on to the publisher.

INTRODUCTION

WARNING – graphic images, video and photographs, of beheadings, torture, throats being cut, a young Asian woman who had been skewered on a spit and was being roasted; close ups of bomb victims from the Madrid railway bombing, and so on. See the worst Islamic violence³ websites. Why? So you may at least see the potential need to read this book with its warnings to the non-Muslim world, and consider adopting the minimal measures recommended by it. If you care about your future, please read this book.

In or about the year 570 CE⁴ (570 AD), the person who later became known as Muhammad the Prophet was born in the city of Mecca, Arabia. His full name was Abu al-Qasim Muhammad Ibn Abd Allah Ibn Abd al-Muttalib Ibn Hashim.⁵ He is considered by Muslims to be the final⁶ prophet of the religion of Islam and, apparently, some of his followers literally reserve the right to cut your throat if you think differently from them in relation to just about anything.⁷

Muhammad’s father, Abdallah, died several weeks before his birth and his mother, Aminah, died when he was six years old. He was raised mostly by his paternal uncle Abu Talib, under whose guidance he made a living as a businessman and a trader.

The traditions of Islam claim that in the year 610, Muhammad, while on a retreat to Mount Hira for meditation during the month of Ramadan,⁸ received his first revelation from the ‘Archangel Gabriel’. This was supposedly the very same Archangel who first appeared in the Jewish Book of Daniel, and who later appeared in the Christian Gospel of Luke making the Annunciation to Mary, of Mary’s pregnancy to God.

This Archangel Gabriel allegedly continued to visit Muhammad many times over the next twenty-three years – i.e. from 610 until the end of Muhammad’s life at about the age of 62 in 632 CE – and the purpose of these little get-togethers was to get Muhammad or his employees to act as kind of stenographers – writing the Islamic ‘holy scriptures’ down – and that body of dictation became known as the Koran/Qur’an.⁹ According to Muhammad, his thoughts and activities were written down by himself and others, into or described in what became known as the Hadith.¹⁰ Believers in these supposedly infallible writings are known as Muslims. Thus Muslims believe that Muhammad was a kind of messenger of God – or Allah – Arabic for God.

Muhammad’s mission was to restore the worship of the ‘One True God’, the creator and sustainer of the universe, as taught by the Prophet Abraham and all the Prophets of God, and to demonstrate the laws of moral, ethical, legal and social conduct, according to Islam.

The word ‘Islam’ means submission and it is meant to be understood in the sense of peace through surrender and obedience (i.e. virtual enslavement) to the will and commandments of Allah and thus to the Koran and the hadith. As noted, those who accept Islam are called Muslims, meaning those who have ‘agreed’ to comply with this message of ‘peace through surrender and obedience’.

Now, although the Koran is demonstrably descended from Judaism and Christianity,¹¹ it contains many directives to extreme violence (see Appendix G). And the Koran and the hadith record some really bizarre ‘facts’ about the life of Muhammad – facts that any reasonable non-Muslim wouldn’t normally want their ‘favorite prophet’ to be associated with. We shall have a look at these matters mostly in chapter 2.

From 632 CE to ‘9/11’ (September the 11th 2001), there is this continuous thread of extreme violence running through Islamic thought and affairs,¹² which continues until the present day, late 2015, and undoubtedly into the future. There was definitely homicidal behavior in Jewish and Christian scripture and history too.¹³ So both Christians and Jews have been through their violent phases, a long time ago, before they had both evolved¹⁴ beyond the regressive need for literalism in the interpretation of their respective ‘holy scriptures’; and certainly well before they had nuclear weapons.

This book will show that way beyond the merely irrational nature of the major religions, radical Islam is positively evil and dangerous to the welfare of humanity, and needs to be either radically altered or eliminated from society, so that we are all safe. The word ‘eliminated’ sounds ominous but can be understood in any appropriate way the reader chooses. For example, think of the way the US government during WWII eliminated or at least attempted to temporarily eliminate their potential internal Japanese threat through use of internment camps¹⁵ – tough measures for tough times when your group survival is at stake. Exactly how the present Islamic threat to non-Muslim
